Drury Lane Theatre has big time summer fun this year. Presenting a revival version of the Tony Award winning comedy, Boeing Boeing, this is a show is filled with laughs with one hilarious scene to the next.
Taking place in a 1960’s Paris, this is the story of Bernard, a swinging architect who manages to manipulate three fiancées, each of whom lives with him in his luxury flat. All three fiancées are flight attendants so Bernard is able to schedule his life around their flight schedules, making sure more than one are never home at the same time. However, after an old friend, Robert, shows up – and Bernard aptly boasts about his scheme – everything goes haywire and his life is quickly turned into uproarious sequences of attempted cover ups and hijinks.
Boeing Boeing features Saturday Night Live alum Nora Dunn as “Berthe”, Bernard’s housekeeper who grudgingly helps her employer in pulling off his juggling act of the three fiancées. Though Dunn is terrific, Stef Tovar as “Bernard” and Daniel Cantor as “Robert” highlight this production along with Katherine Keberlein as “Gretchen”, drawing the biggest laughs from the audience.
If you are in the mood to laugh and see something that is light and fun, Boeing Boeing certainly makes a fine summer treat.
Tickets for Boeing Boeing range from $35-$49 and dinner packages are also available from $50-$74. Boeing Boeing is playing at Drury Lane in Oakbrook (100 Drury Lane) through August 4th. For more information visit www.drurylane.com or cal 630-530-0111.
